BRUSH EMBROIDERY COOKIES/ Afternoon Tea

Several years ago when my husband and I were dating he took me on a surprise date one Sunday afternoon. I didn't know where we were going until we arrived at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. No, it's not what you're thinking! He surprised me with Afternoon Tea. We enjoyed champagne and tea while we feasted on scones and jam, tea sandwiches, petits-fours and fresh strawberries in whipped cream. We spent two hours sipping and nibbling before we waddled out of the beautiful tea room at the Ritz.

These cookies were made for a girl's 10th birthday party. Her mother requested cookies to compliment a Tea Party theme. I envisioned girly ruffled dresses and Mary Jane shoes. So, I baked square shortbread cookies iced in blush pink and white using the brush embroidery technique. Can't you just picture these dainty cookies at this dressy affair?

LOVE LOVE LOVE these Joan! They are so pretty and definitely girly! Perfect for a mother's day, tea, too! Well that was one really lovely date your husband took you on! Very special and I suspect you were wise to marry him! And he's just as lucky....especially if he gets to be your taste tester! : )

Anne, Thank you! That date was a special one and made a nice impression not only on me, but my entire family. He is my primary taste tester yet he gets to eat very few cookies as most go to friends, family and his co-workers.

I think brushed embroidery cookies are some of the prettiest cookies ever! Yours are no exception and I love the soft shade of pink you used. These must have been a hit at the tea party themed birthday.

Beautiful work, Joan. The four cookies placed together appear like a lace doily. And yes, the technique truly mirrors ruffles—a lovely compliment to the party for which the cookies were intended for. Tea at The Ritz sounds splendid, something Mrs. W might enjoy!

Joan,These are so precious, I can't wait for my granddaughters to come for a visit. We can have a tea party and make these cookies. You make them look like it's something I can do. Thank you for sharing at Treasure Box Tuesday. I pinned you and you will be featured this coming week.Hugs,Wanda Ann @ Memories by the Mile
